TERA’s The Lost Isle update is live, new starting area and revamped character creation

En Masse has revealed that TERA’s The Lost Isle update is now live and makes good on all the promises that were made little over a month ago. This update has a few notable additions such as the new starting zone called Stepstone Isle, where there’s an all-new story for all level 1 characters, as well as a more accelerated path to level 11.

The revamped character creation and character selection screen are other highlights in The Lost Isle update. Players are now able to mix and match races and classes on a single screen during character creation, while the character selection screen has a much more dramatic flair, and also allows players to move their characters around on the screen.

The Gridiron Academy is a level 40-64 version of the level 65 Gridiron PvP battleground, complete with Vanguard quests and reputation rewards.

Finally, there’s a Returning Hero tab on the Vanguard Requests screen, which helps level 58-65 characters that have not logged in for at least a month seamlessly re-engage with TERA via gear upgrades and walkthroughs of new features and essential skills.

The full patch notes are over here, if you want to check all the tiny details. Enjoy this update and get ready, because our spider sense is tingling and telling us that it shouldn’t be long now for the upcoming Brawler class launch.
